Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Turmoil Has Not Settled

The heavy rain that had been falling for several days had finally stopped, and the fighting on the small hill was finally coming to an end.

As the guards drove the last rider down the slope with spears shoulder to shoulder, Zheng Sheng's side finally won the brutal battle.

But they also paid a big price.

Still, the survivors have begun to cheer the victory.

Even Zheng Sheng is no exception. He looked around the camp, and the bloody smell mixed with the earthy smell brought by the rain seemed to permeate his body. The broken limbs were all over the place, which made Zheng Sheng nauseate for a while.

There are many who are still alive, but many more are dead.

Zheng Sheng looked at the corpse in front of him speechlessly.

He is Shi Mosheng. Not long ago, he was Zheng Sheng's good partner in battle, and the two of them together took out several vicious horsemen.

And now he is a mangled corpse.

Zheng Sheng didn't know what kind of tragic battle he had experienced, but looking at the knife he still held in his hand, everyone would understand that he was always fighting hard until the moment he died.

More and more familiar but dead companions appeared in front of him: Shan Hu, the taciturn teenager who had always done his best to do everything well, was also dead.

Zheng Sheng couldn't help but think of the old coachman who blocked the fatal knife for him when he fled Wancheng in the early years.

Shan Hu and Shan Long are his descendants. Zheng Sheng took them with him, naturally feeling that after his cultivation, their future would be more promising, but now Shan Hu died in another country.

Zheng Sheng's heart was almost numb, there were too many dead, more than half of the guards died, and less than thirty people were still alive standing and cheering.

And less than ten of the teenagers he carefully selected survived......

Li Tong, Li Dazhi, Yao Guangli, Huang Shengyu, Xiang Zhuwei, Zhao Sui, Li Xuesheng, Zhang Liu, Li De, Huang Wansheng, Zheng Cang, Zheng Ernian...... These teammates who accompany him day and night, he is familiar with the personality and hobbies of each of them, and understands the joys, sorrows and sorrows of each of them.

But now, they're all dead.

For a moment, Zheng Sheng even began to wonder if Rigidity Shi Chong's choice was wrong. If you choose a softer approach, you will definitely not die so many people.

Zheng Sheng was suddenly called back to his senses.

"Zheng Sheng, why didn't I find Sniff and Qing'er, even if they were killed, they should have corpses!" Wen Xiaoting's impatient tone was full of crying.

Zheng Sheng finally remembered that he had forgotten that part, Liu Wei'er and Qing'er, the two little girls who came with him regardless of the danger.

After the war, he walked through almost every corner of the camp and saw every dead or alive person, but he didn't even see them.

"Did they take advantage of the chaos to escape? Since I didn't find them, I couldn't tell if they were alive or dead. Therefore, the prince does not need to panic, we sent someone out to look for it, and asked the prince to wait patiently. Ren persuaded him.

"Has anyone seen them just now? If anyone has seen it, we should have a direction to look for. Wan Yun asked.

Zheng Sheng's heart was in turmoil, of course he had seen them, but ......

"We were hiding in the tent when the men in black rushed in, and the slaves and I went to stop them and told them to go to the front to report the news. Zheng Sheng, have you seen them? ā€

"See, but the enemy came too quickly, and then we were separated." Zheng Sheng's tone was lost.

"Separated? How can you let them be separated from you? Wen Xiaoting was anxious.

"I—" Zheng Sheng was speechless.

"I seem to see them with David Zheng." Finally An suddenly remembered something.

"Huh? What about David Zheng? Don't seem to see him? And his body was not seen. ā€

Zheng Sheng remembered something: "What about his father Zheng Lixun?" ā€

Everyone looked left and right, and all of them were silent.

Zheng Sheng's heart continued to sink, if Zheng Lixun's father and son escorted them out of the camp and fled after meeting them, it would naturally be the best result.

But Zheng Sheng remembered that Zheng Lixun seemed to be suspected of conspiring with Song Anzuo and colluding with outsiders. He also reminded them to be careful of Zheng Lixun and his son.

Even on the dangerous battlefield, the thoughtful Liu Yan'er will not relax and be escorted away by them!

At this moment, a firework suddenly rose from the northwest and burst into the air.

Everyone was stunned.

Now that the people who are alive are in the camp, and there are no scouts to go out to guard them, who set off this firework?

Zheng Sheng immediately made a decision: "Let's go over and have a look." Ye Jun, Shan Long, Zheng Qian, Zhong An, and Woody of the Tiger Guard Battalion, plus eight guards, went with me to investigate. Wan Yun, Wang Jun, Ren Ju, Song Zhi, the camp is handed over to you to guard and deal with the wounded. Be cautious and be cautious against another sneak attack. ā€

"Shizi, let's go over, you stay in the camp." Wan Yun volunteered.

Zheng Sheng refused: "I'll go in person." ā€

"Zheng Sheng, I'm going with the slave too!" Wen Xiaoting interjected.

Zheng Sheng wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if he didn't let her go, she might secretly follow, and then he didn't know if it would surprise him or be frightened.

Zheng Sheng agreed.

The place where the fireworks rose was not too far away, Zheng Sheng and the others rode on the only dozen or so horses left in the camp and hurried towards that side.

……

In the northwest of Gaopo, outside an abandoned thatched house, a scene that Zheng Sheng would never have imagined was being staged.

Liu Wei'er held Zheng Lixun's waist with one hand, and pinned a dagger to his neck with the other hand, confronting several people on the opposite side led by Zheng Dawei who had kidnapped Qing'er.

"Miss Liu, what do you mean by this? Our father and son escaped with you so easily, why did you treat Zheng like this? Zheng Rixun asked in a bit of a panic.

Liu Wei'er didn't respond positively, but said meaningfully: "If it weren't for the quick reaction of the two of us, wouldn't it be almost time to meet your lord?" ā€

In the scuffle, Liu Yan'er couldn't control her thoughts, she just saw that there were people dressed as her own guards, so she let them leave the camp with her and Qing'er.

But halfway through, Zheng Lixun led people to join them. And in her team, there was Zheng Dawei - he had been avoiding her sight, so much so that Liu Wei'er didn't even notice that he was in the guards!

And Liu Wei'er soon found that these guards seemed to be obedient to Zheng Lixun's words. Liu Wei'er suddenly had a bad premonition.

Along the way, Zheng Luxun kept urging them to hurry, which made her even more suspicious. So, she asked to rest here.

Zheng Lixun's attitude was resolute, and his tone was even worse urging them to leave quickly.

In this way, Liu Wei'er acted, she quietly lit the fireworks hidden on her body, and then quickly controlled Zheng Lixun, but Zheng Dawei also reacted quickly, and he successfully held Qing'er hostage.

And so the conversation we just had arose.

Zheng Luxun was very anxious, and when he left the camp, he saw Zheng Sheng leading people to launch a counterattack. Now that Gao Po's shouting has stopped, he is not sure which side will win, but he thinks that Zheng Sheng has a better chance of winning.

Then next, Zheng Sheng will definitely ......

"My son, don't take care of me, take that little girl and go quickly to see the lord. With her, the plan can go smoothly as well! ā€
